IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING EASTER BUNNIES AND "ORPHANED" WILD RABBITS

In regards to EASTER BUNNIES:

We do not sell animals during Easter. Please do not call, message, email, or text to ask. Animals are NOT gifts. They are a lifetime (of that animal) commitment. If you want to get your child a bunny (or other animal) for Easter, please visit your local Walmart, Target, TJMaxx or the like and purchase a STUFFED Rabbit instead.

Animals Sales will begin again in JUNE 2025.

In regards to wild rabbits you, your child, your husband or your dog.. may have found.

NO we will not take them, NO we won't help you find someone that might, NO you cannot keep them and raise them (they do horrible in captivity and WILL die if you attempt to nurse them), DO NOT remove them from the nest, DO NOT attempt to relocate them, DO NOT allow your children to "play" with them. JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE. Mom only comes once a day, usually at night. DO NOT remove them from the next. Place a cheap laundry basket over the den opening and place a brick on top of it. Before going to bed, remove the brick and move the basket so mama can get in to her babies. Once their eyes are open, they are old enough to be on their own. DO NOT TOUCH THEM, don't feed them, leave them alone.

The fact that I even have to put this on our website is crazy. Use common sense, wild animals are WILD and should NEVER be taken from their natural habitats

We do not produce any animal we raise here in mass. We breed for what we need first and anything after that is sold directly to consumers. Please READ the entire website before contacting us. A lot of questions can be answered by visiting our FAQ page.

Cherokee Flats is private property, at no time is anyone allowed to just "show up" and expect to purchase any animals we have here. We do not always have stock available and therefore it would be a complete waste of your time as well as ours. On the off change we had stock, you MUST make arrangements ahead of time and same day sales are prohibited.

If you show up to our property unannounced, you will be asked to leave and make arrangements to visit at a more desirable time or find another place to purchase the animals you are looking for.

At no time will we be guilt-tripped into selling an animal to anyone for any reason. We have rules and they must be followed. NO EXCEPTIONS. 

Cherokee Flats is not legally obligated to take in ANY animal whether we raise it here or not. We are NOT a rescue or shelter. If you have any animals that need new homes, please contact your local vet or rescue group for assistance.

We are a small farm and do not breed in mass quantities. We breed for what we need and anything left is sold. For feeders, I offer what I have when I have it at reasonable prices but am unable to provide mass amounts of any animal we have. We prefer to stay small so that we can provide specialized service to our customers. 

Thank you again for your understanding.
